Default --> Circulus 3 Prototype Build <--

Got the nose cone shoulder end cut off, 2oz. of nose weight added and bulkhead with eyebolt epoxied in. I epoxied the inner nut to the bulkhead so I can remove or tighten eyebolt if needed.
Body tube cut to 15" and slotted.
Started the 29mm motor mount by gluing front ring on and I'm about to epoxy Kevlar cord to motor tube.
Template cut out and will try to get 3/16" plywood fins cut today.

Got the tail ring and fins cut. Tail ring is a 8" Sonotube and fins are 3/16" birch plywood.
Dry fitted parts and it came out a perfect fit.
